Milei Gives WEF Speech: Slams DEI, Says Woke Ideology "Cancer", And Calls For Limited Government

Argentina's President Javier Milei delivered a blockbuster speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday, where he said that woke politics are a "cancer" on the world and must be eradicated to usher in a "new golden age" of freedom and prosperity.

"What once seemed like a global hegemony of the ‘woke’ left in politics, educational institutions, in the media, in supranational organizations or even in forums like Davos, has begun to crumble," said Milei, who took office in 2023.

The Argentinian politician says he's been forming alliances with other conservative figures and leaders.

"Over the course of this year, I have found allies in this fight for the cause of freedom in every corner of the world, from the amazing [tech billionaire] Elon Musk to that fierce Italian lady [Prime Minister] Giorgia Meloni, from [President Nayib] Bukele in El Salvador to Viktor Orban in Hungary," he said, adding "Slowly, an international alliance has been forming among all those nations who want to be free and believe in the ideas of liberty."

At WEF 2025, @JMilei declared that the "global hegemony" of woke ideology is "crumbling," highlighting the growing pro-freedom alliance that unites himself, @realDonaldTrump, @elonmusk, @netanyahu, @GiorgiaMeloni, and @nayibbukele.pic.twitter.com/StmTLkndwt
